So long as Mark Sanford remains in public office, you Publicans can STFU about family values.

Spitzer, furthermore, paid those hookers with his own money, as far as we know. Sanford stuck the taxpayers with his bill. Yeah, sure, he paid (some of) it back after getting caught. If the only consequence of thievery is having to return the loot, then there is no risk in stealing.

Y'know, it seems to me that no one outside of New York, and not even many people in New York, would care about this race if it weren't Eliot "John" Spitzer running for it. I dunno about anyone else, but I don't even know if thereis an elected comptroller office where I live, and if there is, I damn sure don't know who's in there right now.

Hey, you know what the difference is between Elliot Spitzer and David Vitter? Spitzer cares about America while Vitter is a political hack. Also, Republicans welcomed Vitter back after his prostitute scandal.
